To increase scope and extend life ……..


Planned collaboration with NCeSS nodes,
MiMeG and DReSS
 Build

into standard support…
 and….standard information about software



NCRM support
 Pull

qualitative strands of ESRC initiatives together
 Extend life - by increasing online support, via
RESTORE etc
